Fall forecast: We are seeing more finished looks and movement. After more than a decade of straight hair, we are all ready for a change! Fall 2013 is a time for reinventing ourselves; clients of all ages are coming into the salon looking for something different.

Exciting product to share with clients: As we celebrate “Quantum 30 Years of Success,” the new generation of Quantum, the Quantum 5 family, adds extra benefits! Quantum 5 Extra Volume with Moisture- Shield Treatment produces versatile curls on normal or color-treated hair (up to 20 vol). For your clients with higher porosity, Quantum Texture on Tint can be used on up to and including 40 vol, creating beautiful bouncy curls.

Curl creed: Curls are back! Texture is here, and stylists can increase their income by safely “texturizing” their color-treated clients, achieving new looks for fall 2013!

It is no surprise that in this era of beautiful and healthy hair, scalp treatments have become one of the hottest services in salons today. Rene Furterer has a heritage in this service, and does so perfectly.
